There was a kidnapping years ago. Girl turned up dead. New DNA evidence suggests the body was misidentified. The girl everyone thought was kidnapped and dead? Turns out she's alive and well and living in Tumbridge Wells.

Amanda Redman's team gets put in the case, but they have to tread lightly because the un-dead girl's mom is talking lawsuit.

The A plot is convoluted as usual. But I've decided that instead of trying to unravel it or follow it, I just roll with it. It's only TV. Guest Harriet Walter as the un-dead girl's mom steals the episode with her outstanding acting.

The USOCs also get partnered up with DI Wilson in homicide, who immediately gets into a new guy/old guy rivalry with Gerry Standing. The completely unprofessional antics between Matt Bardock and Dennis Waterman would have got most people fired but again, it's TV, so we roll with that, too. Frankly, they should have kept Bardock and sent Anthony Calf packing. Or brought back Nicholas Day as Insp Bevan.
